The process for recruitment of 17 third class and 85 fourth-class employees at Barisal Sher-e-Bangla Medical College Hospital (BSMCH) has been postponed for the second time by the High Court.

BSMCH Director Dr. Ahmed Kabir said yesterday that he received a copy of HC court order on Monday.

The first attempt to recruit employees in the 102 posts was stopped after the director general of health ordered postponement of the process when it was in final stage in 2004 following allegations of corruption in selection.

The HC order followed submission of a writ by Ebadat Gazi, son of Wahab Gazi of Alfadanga of Faridpur district. Ebadat was an applicant for one of posts.

A Division Bench of the High Court comprising Justice Nazrul Islam and Justice Zinnat Ara, after hearing, accepted the writ petition and ordered postponement of the second initiative for recruitment for two month.

The court also ordered the authorities concerned to show cause by August 15 why the previous recruitment attempt would not be cancelled.
